John Lennon: The New York Ciy Years - May 2009
The Rock & Roll Hall of Fame Annex NYC
(76 Mercer St., NYC) was honoured to present JOHN LENNON: THE NEW YORK
CITY YEARS which opened in May 2009. The extraordinary exhibit presented
exclusive artifacts from the life and work of John Lennon. The exhibit
featured never‐before‐seen items that uniquely commemorate Lennon’s life
in New York City.
"John would have
been so pleased that the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame Annex in New York
was honouring his life and work. It was a city we called home for many
years and I so hope it will be a true gift to New York City’s residents
and visitors that have been such supportive fans"
Yoko Ono.
The
exhibit was created by Yoko Ono and curated by Jim Henke, Vice
President of Exhibitions and Curatorial Affairs, for the New York City
Annex. The exhibit included a selection of rare artifacts, films and
photos as well as exclusive New York‐centric additions provided by the
generosity of Yoko Ono.
"Yoko Ono has
been very generous to the Hall of Fame over the years, and we are
delighted to be able to work with her on this new exhibit. John Lennon
spent the last nine years of his life in New York, and he loved the
city. This exhibit will examine those years and the many things John
accomplished while in New York."
Jim Henke, curator & Vice President of Exhibitions and Curatorial Affairs.
